"I think it is not appropriate to keep hundreds of thousands of troops doing nothing. As allies, we should help the Austro-Hungarian Empire tide over this crisis. Fritz must bear the consequences of neglecting us, but I don’t want this kind of struggle to continue. Military." At the end of the letter, Prince Leopold put forward his own thoughts rather vaguely.

Prince Leopold is a soldier, a pure soldier. He doesn't like politics, and he doesn't want political issues to affect military judgments. Many German officers in this era are still very conscientious, Prince Leopold Unwilling to allow political differences to cause tens of thousands of lives to disappear.

So he not only reminded Fritz once again, but also hoped that the prince could look a little away, and the prince would be able to lend a helping hand when there were major problems in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The army serves politics. Although Prince Leopold temporarily controls the two armies under the prince, the command given to him is defense. So even if Fritz sent a telegram for help, the two legions could not leave the garrison area without the permission of the prince.

In fact, although the total strength of the two legions is strong, in general, they are more than aggressive and insufficient! Although there are many 500,000 people (including the prince's troops on the Western Front), the prince can't fight the world with 500,000 people alone! If the army wants to expand, what will happen to the newcomers after the expansion? Naturally, veterans and experienced officers are required to bring them. Therefore, many officers and veterans have been transferred from the original army to supplement the new army. Then gradually formed combat effectiveness.

The situation in Mackensen in the north is not very good. East Prussia cannot be lost, and the prince intends to open up the situation in East Prussia. Therefore, after obtaining the consent of the German Emperor, three divisions of Bavaria temporarily entered the horse. Kenson Corps, to assist the defense.

In order to meet the blood draw of the Western Front, some of the regiments entered East Prussia, plus the training of recruits to transfer personnel, and to defend the newly defeated areas, at least until the prince returned with the Western Front Corps and air force, the Bavarian Legion It is not suitable for launching a large-scale attack. Prince Leopold calculated it. If he had to help the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he could only take out four divisions immediately, two of which were Czechs from Bohemia.

What is the level of the 4 divisions? About 80,000 people. Is there more than 80,000 people? How do you say this? In terms of numbers, it is indeed quite a lot, but for the Russian records, in the Galician battle, a great battle, Austria-Hungary sent 400,000 people to compare the situation, 80,000 people are really not many... Think about it, the two sides together with nearly 2 million troops engaged in a melee on a front that is hundreds of kilometers long. At this point, the troops want to control the situation a little bit, and at most it is a partial improvement.

"Although Fritz has some small ideas, he is definitely not a mediocre politically. Of course, more importantly, he will not live long. The throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still uncertain, and both Mary and Karl seem to have opportunities to outsiders... …" In his study, Rupresit began to weigh the pros and cons like a politician.

Whether he can finally ascend to the throne depends on the attitude of the old Fritz on the one hand, and on the other hand the approval of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. The emperor’s attitude is aside for the time being, because it seems to be neutral from the current point of view. The reason for not directly designating Karl as succession is because of the prince’s attitude. In the military, he is inclined to Karl to give the opponent a chance to prove himself. Both sides are taking a balanced route.

As for the identity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? This is relatively fictitious, but very important! What the prince needs is a stable Austria, an Austria that can be one-hearted, not an intrigue, but also a hodgepodge of Bavaria, Austria and the Czech Republic! No saber and money are absolutely impossible, but violence and money alone are also impossible! The prince must find ways to increase the prestige of his family in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and must be recognized by the Austrian Germans and Czechs!

Therefore, for Fritz, the prince can play tricks with him, but the result of such tricks must not affect the attitude of the Austrians towards themselves! So in this sense, the Austro-Hungarian Army fought hard in Galicia, and it is absolutely impossible to hold hundreds of thousands of troops without participating in the war...

In terms of the overall situation, it is definitely a loss-making business to sit and watch the four Austro-Hungarian armies get knocked down and then clean up the mess. Therefore, reinforcement is necessary, and assistance is also necessary, but it depends on the time point and there are specific means!

It is impossible to launch an offensive battle, time is too late, and without preparation, neither the Austro-Hungarian Army nor the Bavarian Army can launch a large-scale offensive. Most of the cars and tanks produced in Bavaria now go to the western front. The inventory of the first-line troops is over defensive and insufficient offensive. Moreover, the forces that can be rushed are also limited.

Therefore, the prince directly chose to skip the stage of the Austro-Hungarian army and the Russian army. He intends to repel the attack of the Austro-Hungarian Army when the Russian army is forced to choose defense before making reinforcements. At this time Fritz should have realized the huge gap between the two sides. Knowing that his fists are not strong enough, this Austrian The emperor is still very talkative!

The time is selected~lightnovelpub.net~ So what about the troops? To be honest, now both the prince and the prince Leopold are accustomed to fighting under the cover of tanks and airplanes. This is like playing ar3. You are accustomed to the players of the human tribe and the dark night bear. You suddenly let him fight. 2 The break witch or ac bird De Sanyuan. I'm totally uncomfortable, okay!

The current situation is that, whether it is tanks, aircraft, or a large number of trucks, almost all are concentrated on the western front. It is impossible to transfer it back, but I have to blame Prince Leopold to play with the infantry and coordinate the battle.... As for the issue of troops, it is also a nuisance.

The Bavarian Army and the Bohemia Army have a total of 500,000 first-line troops (not counting the personnel who establish new troops in the rear.), about 25 divisions, of which the prince brought 3 armored divisions and 1 mechanized on the western front The infantry division plus other auxiliary forces, this is nearly 120,000 people. Of the remaining 380,000 people, 3 divisions or 60,000 are in East Prussia, and there are 320,000. To guarantee the current line of defense, at least 240,000 people are needed, that is, 12 divisions can cover the line of defense and maintain enough reserve teams. This is how the remaining 4 divisions can be called.

Even if the prince agrees, before the prince’s elite corps returns to the eastern front, or before a new wave of recruits complete training, Prince Leopold will have this mobile force. The time for the prince to return to the eastern front is yet to be determined, and the recruits complete the training. It will take about 3 to 4 weeks. And if you wait so long, the day lily is cold!
